What were you doing?

You were loading documents into Content Manager OnDemand with a CMOD Generic Index File.

What happened?

There was an error in the file that caused the load to fail.

Troubleshooting

Check the arsload log for the informational message ARS1133I, which shows the last record that was successfully processed. The error should appear in the next record inside the Content Manager OnDemand Generic Index file.

It's likely that the system that generated the Generic Index file didn't produce the file properly, and errors in data or formatting stopped the load.

Specifically, check for blank rows, repeated rows, out-of-sequence lines, or extra spaces or tab characters at the end of a row. Each record should have GROUP_FIELD_NAME records (with the name of an Application Group field), followed on the next line by a GROUP_FIELD_VALUE record with valid data for that field. At the start of a Generic Index File, before any other parameters, the CODEPAGE parameter must be specified so that CMOD knows what type of data it will find in the Generic Index file. Then, the GROUP_FIELD_NAME and GROUP_FIELD_VALUE parameters are repeated for each piece of document, followed by three parameters, in this order: GROUP_OFFSET, GROUP_LENGTH, and GROUP_FILENAME.

There are three errors in this sample generic index file:

 GROUP_FIELD_NAME:CUST_NUM
 GROUP_FIELD_VALUE;987654321
 GROUP_FIELD_NAME:RPT_DATE
 GROUP_FIELD_VALUE:2020-03-05
 GROUP_FIELD_VALUE:STMT_LANG
 GROUP_FIELD_VALUE:ENG
 GORUP_OFFSET:5758158
 GROUP_LENGTH:144843
 GROUP_FILENAME:CUSTSTMT_20200305_RETAILBK_BaxterBay.out

On line 2, the character separating GROUP_FIELD_VALUE and the customer number is a semicolon (;) instead of a regular colon character (:). On line 5, the record should read 'GROUP_FIELD_NAME', not 'GROUP_FIELD_VALUE'. On line 7, the GROUP_OFFSET parameter is misspelled.
